The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
14th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Applied Linguistics and Professional Practice (ALAPP 2024)
Panel: Graduates' transitions from universities to workplaces during and post pandemic: Applied linguistic insights
17-19 December 2024
As part of the ALAPP 2024 conference, we participated three major presentations and dialogues, which covered several important topics in Applied Linguistics.
On December 17, we organized a panel focusing on the transition of graduates. Prof. Zayts, Dr. Edmonds, and Dr. Luk explored the challenges graduates face while transitioning from university to the workplace, and proposed strategies to support them during this process. On December 18, we presented a paper addressing ethics within Applied Linguistics, which stimulated an insightful discussion on the topic. Additionally, we conducted a presentation that investigated genetic contexts through the lens of Applied Linguistics.
